Speedy deletion nomination of Creative Destruction Lab

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Creative Destruction Lab, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. MediaKyle (talk) 13:05, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Advert and COI warnings

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

You appear to have a close connection to a subject about which you have written on Wikipedia that raises concerns about a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged.

Anyone with a conflict of interest must avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing articles related to you, your family or colleagues, your organization or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);

   and you must always:

4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Note that you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. Even if you are not being paid, you are expected to disclose any close connection with the subject of the article, using the connected contributor template.

For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you.

Hi Deb, Thanks for your message. Can you please explain further for why this was marked for deletion? Can I ask what made it appear to be promotional? I based the writing of it similar to how other approved pages for organizations similar to this one [Y Combinator], and the article was written based on wikipedia's guidance for a neutral perspective. Any statements that were made had sources attached to them in a similar manner as [Y Combinator].

In regards to relevance, it's relevance it shown within wikipedia's articles themselves, with the inclusion of it in the founder of the organization's own wikipedia article (Ajay Agrawal), let alone the number of third-party articles from organizations such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology that I included in the references.

In regards to supposition that I have a conflict of interest, my only exposure to Creative Destruction Lab was as a student, learning about it in one of my classes.

This posting is in no way meant as advertising, and I have no reason to make it as such.

If you could please shed some more light on why the article I wrote appears as if it was advertising, or why you marked the topic as not being relevant, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Oedipusfate (talk) 16:00, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
